FaceOnBody Software for Face-Swapping on Internet

Now, on the Internet, a new software that brings digital photograph manipulation down to its most comical and basic essence is available to all. With FaceOnBody, the new software, users can alter digital photos in a jiffy. Any face can easily be copied onto any body - a bit like Photoshop without all that extraneous functionality.

No high-tech computer mastery is needed to create hilarious photos of yourself, friends - or, even enemies - partying with Paris Hilton, conferring with George W., onstage on American Idol, even carried atop teammates` shoulders after a winning Yankee game. FaceOnBody uses a simple drag-and-drop technology that allows even the most non tech-savvy users to make lifelike keepsakes. There are also, of course, far less devious uses for FaceOnBody than poking fun at friends and colleagues. Your kids will be endlessly entertained seeing their faces on the bodies of Shrek and Jimmy Neutron.

`And what would be the fun of mocking your friends, classmates or colleagues if you couldn`t spread the doctored FaceOnBody photos when you`re finished?` asked Pinter. `Well, FaceOnBody allows you to email your finished photos directly from the program. You can even take your mocking to the next level with coffee mugs, t-shirts and all sorts of photo-emblazoned merchandise from the FaceOnBody web site.`
